1. Robin Yount

Perhaps, the only hitter better than Braun in franchise history is Robin Yount. Yount was such a stud he made his MLB debut at 18-years-old. You just don’t see that anymore. He played his entire 20-year career with the Brewers and the longevity certainly led to his spot on this list.

He made three All-Star appearances in 1980, 1982 and 1983. He also led the MLB in hits in 1982. Yount was a dual-threat of sorts, making an impact both at the plate and in the field. He won two MVPs, one in 1982 and his other in 1989 because of his overall impact. He also won a Gold Glove in 1982.

Yount’s name is at the top of franchise leaderboards for most categories. That will happen when you combine great consistency and longevity. He’s also a member of the 3,000 hit club and the Hall of Fame.
